OUTSIDE
The property is approached towards the end of the private track with access to parking for numerous vehicles. There is an open block-built garage to the front, currently housing the oil-fired boiler supplying the central heating and hot water (not large enough for a vehicle). Double gates lead into the gardens with a gravelled path and a decked area leading to a brick-built workshop, with power and light, currently split into two, providing ample storage and workspace.

The pathway continues into the garden and spurs up to the main entrance of the property. There is an attractive front lawn and low retaining borders, leading to the outbuildings. The first outbuilding currently provides a very useful Utility Room with power, light and water, space and plumbing for washing machine, stainless steel sink unit and space for freezer. Extensive range of stone-built barns - which are attached on the rear to the neighbouring property’s barns - provide useful storage, wood shed and workshop, with a pretty cobbled area to the front, benefitting from far-reaching views.

The gardens are quite extensive, predominantly laid to lawn with interesting stone raised features, part stone walling borders and a lovely pergoda terrace, strategically placed to take full advantage of the stunning far-reaching views, right across the valley. Continuing further down the gardens, there is a chicken shed and chicken run. To the bottom of the garden, gated access leads onto a far more productive area with poly tunnel, greenhouse and raised beds, all benefitting from the views. Beyond the vegeatable garden is a small orchard.

N.B. Coming down the lane towards the property is also a public footpath, which does not extend onto the property but provides lovely walks for the inhabitant of Lower Wynefreds.
